The doors themselves are 17th or 18th century, but were boarded up internally sometime in the 1960s and the entrance fell out of use. The restoration work has seen the doors repaired and preserved, the surrounding stonework and threshold restored and the entrance brought back into use.

The work was paid for by a generous grant from Historic England, memorial donations and individual donations from villagers. Our thanks to everyone who contributed. Thanks also to the contractors, Crowstep, for such an excellent piece of work.

Our photo shows the doors before and after restoration.
